民主黨在美國期中選舉大勝,贏得參議院與眾議院多數席次。雖然外界預期舒默(Chuck Schumer)將繼續擔任參議院民主黨領袖,但來自馬里蘭州的民主黨籍參議員范霍倫(Chris Van Hollen)12日表示,他將競選參議院多數黨領袖一職。

根據《路透》報導,范霍倫接受《MSNOW》採訪時指出,民主黨贏得參議院與眾議院控制權,這代表選民希望改變現行體制,因為目前的體制無法滿足勞工階級的需求。范霍倫說「現在輪到我們把握這個時刻,而要做到這點,我們需要新的領導階層。這就是我競選參議院多數黨領袖的原因。」

這場不對外公開、採秘密投票方式進行的選舉,預計將於12月舉行。范霍倫聲稱,在已知將參與投票的55名民主黨籍參議員中,他獲得超過10人的支持。范霍倫也坦承,他面對舒默仍處於劣勢。

民主黨籍密西根州當選參議員塞德(Abdul El-Sayed),以及來自佛蒙特州、與民主黨共同組成黨團的無黨籍參議員桑德斯(Bernie Sanders),都表示將支持范霍倫。

范霍倫擔任美國參議員將近10年。他曾暗示可能參選2028年美國總統,並指出民主黨必須同時推動多項目標,包括追究總統川普政府涉及「嚴重貪腐」責任、努力終止美國與以色列對伊朗的戰爭,以及團結一致推動一套積極且以美國勞工階級為核心的經濟政策。

在外交政策方面,范霍倫一直對以色列佔領巴勒斯坦領土及其在加薩發動的軍事攻擊持批評態度,同時也反對美國進一步深化與以色列的國防合作關係。

I literally don’t have kids of my own! Tsai Ing-wen speaks out again: My governance is not perfect, but it does not affect my mood of taking care of the next generation.

Former President Tsai Ing-wen responded to veteran musician Luo Dayou's criticism that she and other green camp female politicians have not had children and "don't think too much about the next generation." She emphasized that not having children is an established fact, but it will not change her mood to take care of Taiwan's next generation, nor will she be less concerned about the country's future because she leaves office. She cited the policy of child-oriented policies promoted during her eight years in office, and admitted that the government was not perfect and that housing prices and rents were still a heavy burden for young people.
